The last few months have been a lot of laboring over the new studio and not as much music as I would like, but I'm still finding time to record my EP in bits and pieces and play the shows that come up.
Last month The Han Solo Project played at xBk Live in Des Moines opening for Bit Brigade, which was a lot of fun. Next month we'll be playing at 80/35 Music Festival. Be sure to get your tickets and join us if you haven't already!
The studio build is coming along well. I finished the drywall and texturing last weekend and will start priming and painting tomorrow, so I'm hoping there are only a few weeks left before the space is usable. Here's a picture from before the drywall went up:
Last week I found time to finish what I'm calling “The Stairwell Song” from my upcoming EP (the song will probably be titled “Let Me In”). I wrote it on this little landing on the stairs over a year ago when our house was being renovated, and it was exciting to go back to the spot and hammer out the recording over the course of two days. I've gotten to play the song live at the last two solo acoustic shows I've had too. I tend to be more of a studio rat, so I'm not used to playing songs live before I've recorded them--it's a nice change of pace. I'm eager to do the final mixing for these songs in the new studio and for everyone to hear them. I'm aiming to release the EP this fall.
